Introducing Our New Trimble X9 3D Laser Scanner

Posted 20/08/2026

News

XP Surveys is pleased to announce that we have expanded our surveying capabilities with the advanced Trimble X9 3D laser scanner.

This latest investment strengthens our commitment to using modern surveying technology to deliver accurate, efficient and reliable measured building surveys for architects, developers, engineers, construction professionals and property owners across the UK.

What Is the Trimble X9?

The Trimble X9 is an advanced 3D laser scanning system designed for accurate reality capture across buildings, construction sites and complex environments.

Depending on its configuration, the scanner can capture up to one million measurement points per second and record information at distances of up to 150 metres. This allows our surveyors to collect large quantities of spatial data efficiently while creating a detailed digital record of the surveyed property or site.

The system also incorporates automatic calibration and self-levelling technology, supporting consistent data collection throughout the survey.

Faster and More Efficient Data Capture

The speed of the Trimble X9 allows our team to capture detailed building information more efficiently than would be possible using traditional manual measuring methods alone.

Suitable for Complex Surveying Projects

The Trimble X9 is particularly beneficial when surveying:

Large or complex buildings
Multi-storey properties
Commercial and industrial premises
Historic buildings
Irregular structural features
Areas with restricted access
Occupied buildings where disruption must be minimised

Efficient data capture can help reduce the time required on site while ensuring that important structural and architectural details are recorded.

Real-Time Quality Control on Site

The Trimble X9 integrates with Trimble Perspective software, enabling our surveyors to register, review and validate scan data while still on site.

Being able to inspect the collected information immediately helps our team identify potential gaps before leaving the property. This reduces the risk of repeat visits and supports a more efficient workflow from the initial survey through to the production of the final drawings or model.

Reliable Measured Survey Deliverables

The detailed point cloud data captured by the Trimble X9 can be processed to produce a range of professional measured survey deliverables.

Available Survey Outputs

2D CAD floor plans
Building elevations
Cross-sections
Roof plans
Registered point cloud files
3D Revit models
BIM-ready existing-building information

These deliverables provide architects, designers and construction teams with reliable information to support planning applications, extensions, refurbishments, fit-outs and redevelopment projects.

Investing in Better Measured Survey Services

Investing in the Trimble X9 is part of our ongoing commitment to improving the quality and efficiency of our measured survey services.

Combining advanced 3D laser scanning technology with the experience of our surveyors allows XP Surveys to capture existing conditions comprehensively and deliver clear, coordinated information for the next stage of your project.
